Sadly, it’s just second- rate cops and robbers cobblers made even worse by the story- killing troubles of time-warp detective Alex Drake.

We’ve moved on to 1982 where anguished Alex is still stuck in the past.

And the unfortunate actress who plays her, Keeley Hawes, is still struggling with a terrible 21st Century script.

Unlikely CID stunner Drake is so clever that her once brilliantly brutal boss Gene Hunt – now toned down by the BBC’s PC brigade – is dazzled by her intellect. Even though she can’t tell the difference between 96 and 69.

The inept plot centres on a transvestite policeman’s sordid death in a seedy Soho sex parlour.
